HOW blest are they who turn to God, Forsaking sinful ways; Renouncing haunts of worldly minds, And unbelieving days.
They make the teaching of the Lord Their quest and great delight; And to its guidance daily turn, With ever clearer sight.
Like trees they stand, so full of life, The living stream beside; They yield their fruit, and strong endure, No matter what betide.
But those who to this boasting world Commit their hope and trust, The coming Day shall drive away, Like worthless chaff, or dust.
O mighty grace, that we may stand Among the sons of love! When Christ the Lord, our coming King, Shall lift our souls above.
